Wednesday shepherds pie (using leftover potatoes from sunday onions and some canned beans and tomato soup we need to eat up, veggie meat for me and regular ground beef for my husbands.




Thursday Olive Garden bread sticks wheat spaghetti I make homemade in minutes and homemade Alfredo sauce and the rest of the broccoli from last week steamed





Friday biscuits  and gravy the vegetable stock is simple to make just freeze or put veggie pieces in zip lock and even the pieces you wouldnt normally eat steams etc. wash them and make sure they are still in good  shape boil in water and add a little salt to taste.  chicken breast for the hubby and daughter and a salad with whatever is in the fridge!

We spent just over $52 in groceries and I wouldn't have gone over if I didn't promise my daughter ice cream this week. She reminded me this when we hit the ice cream area. I also bought tons of dairy since we were out which is why the grocery bill was high this week. I bought 4lbs of cheese since I went to Winco. They have the best prices on their packaged cheese and it tastes amazing! Winco is a little bit from home, but I was in that area for another reason so I got enough cheese for 2 weeks. Since I don't eat meat I supplement lots of cheese. We got produce we needed, eggs, cheese, lots of butter for baking and spread, ice cream, soy milk, bread, meat for my hubbys tacos and shepherds pie, and lots of stuff I am forgetting. I felt like this week we stocked up on dairy product that should take us into other weeks...


I think I will start showing recipes and pictures from our dinners, now that I am getting a better hang at this weekly post. So. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be on this weeks menu!
